Toward The Unknown on Turner Classic Movies

I never thought I’d ever write this – Turner Classic Movies will be showing Toward The Unknown on November 12, 12:45 p.m. Central. To my knowledge, this is the first time ever.

So…if you’ve warn out your TTU DVD already, here’s another chance to watch.

Hint: If you get TCM HD, watch it there – the picture quality should be awesome. I’ve seen Bombers B-52 in widescreen HD and it looked like it was filmed yesterday. While both are 1956 WB films, Bombers has aged better color quality wise (no red tint).

Toward The Unknown On DVD!

Toward The Unknown is now available, remastered, from the Warner Brothers Archive Collection. It is a “print-on-demand” DVD, which is the ‘new’ standard it appears for classic film. That model is fine by me: it allows companies such as WB to offer rare, classic films without having to worry about mass distribution to all the stores. I’ve purchased from the Archive Collection before with no issues,

When you buy TTU, and I know you will, pick up a copy of The McConnell Story also and support the WB Archive!

Once I get my copy from WB, I’ll share some screen caps and more information!

If you’re a fan of Toward the Unknown or 50′s aviation movies, you know about the film The Hunters by now. Check out this article on Sabre-Pilots.org for some background on the film.

Sad news to pass along – I recently learned that Robert A. Rohrer passed away January 18. Bob was a friend of the Web site, offering a number of his never before seen color X-2 and Toward the Unknown photos for the site. Bob was a pleasure to work with and I always enjoyed swapping emails with him. He will be missed!
